WOWSERS! When Evelio and I had our antique shop open before his untimely
demise, an entire section was dedicated to Asian art / sculptures
-- much was sold to dealers from the east coast for sale in their
venues -- several still remain in my private collection and may
be eventually offered online if and when the current ratty economy
improves -- the following is one of them - it looks down upon
me from on top of a metal filing cabinet, seated in a tall Victorian
glass dome [dome removed for photo] ...
wood carved gilt Buddha --
c. 18th century
acquired when studying / teaching
in Madrid, Spain [1960s]
